New project from Luthier: DCS WWII [Target complete]

[Feathered_IV]

I haven't had much experience with DCS yet. I wonder how many B-17's the game engine could put into the air at any one time. Modern sims all seem to heading backwards in that respect.

Not really.. It just seems to be the limited modern sims you play. I know ROF can't handle many objects, but Cliffs sure can..

Neat. Thanks for the vid. I was thinking more of stock campaigns and the like on a typical recommended spec machine though. Would be very nice to face up against a few hundred Forts. One of my fonder memories from EAW days!

Stump up 10 large for your VIP treatment.

Mods, we could really do with this link being incorporated in the first post, so people can see that they are asking for money-support (it is not made clear in the original post), and also makes it easier to find the link if we want to pledge money; or follow it's progress.

Anyway, as of today (10th Sept 2013) they are half-way there in raising the minimum sum required, which I find very promising.

Love RoF and very apprehensive about this.

Have to say I'm extremely excited about this, the P-51D from DCS is incredible, with attention to detail far beyond anything else out there. The flight model and CEM is unbelievable and is everything a flight sim should be. Take a look at the ingame tutorial for an engine start:



The major thing that was holding it back was a lack of other player controlled aircraft and a ww2 environment. With a flyable FW-190-D9 to be released (I think next month) and then with this WW2 DCS release, it will take a hardcore study sim and turn it into the real deal.

Last year, with the cancellation of the CLoD series, things were looking dire for flight sims, but now we have 2 major releases on the horizon - BoS and DCS WW2. Fantastic stuff.
